Trial Run

I was looking for some papers the other day and I came across a pack of American Crafts papers.  I pulled out a red and green piece and thought to myself, never in a million years will I use this, the pattern is too big and not my cup of tea.  So I decided to make up a mini kit of papers and ribbon to see if I could actually do anything with it.
This is the kit.

and this is the result.

I have used some of my gorgeous spotty buttons that Sue sent me, as centres for my ribbon flowers.  I was going to use them in place of the brads too, but decided that was too extravagant!
